Will upgrading to FCP 5.1 Affect Adobe After Effect 7.0

Greetings,
plan on upgrading my Final Cut Pro 5.02 to Final Cut Pro 5.1. Will upgrading to Final Cut Pro 5.1 affect the Adobe After Effects program and plug-ins?
Thanks,
Andre

Not unless you move to a Intel Macintosh.

Adobe After Effects CC won't launch with Mavericks upgrade

Since I've upgraded to Mavericks I can't Adobe After Effects CC 12.0 to launch. I have to use After Effects 6.0. Has anyone else had this problem?

Adobe After Effects CS3 upgrade doesn't show as product purchased on "My Products and Services" page

Hi,
I have purchased both Adobe Photoshop 6.00, a upgrade from it to Photoshop CS2, Adobe After Effects 8, and a upgrade from it to After Effects C3. The Adobe Photoshop 6.00 shows up with its corresponding serial numberand the Photoshop CS2 upgrade shows up separtely with its serial number. After Effects shows up as version 8 but has the serial number from the CS3 product and there is only one entry for it.
Did I lose my After Effects CS3 upgrade when I used it to get the discount for the Creative Cloud and that is why it is showing up as version 8?
Thanks, Ron

Thank you.
I should have looked at my old version's box and I would have relized that. So, there is no loss of ownership or anything of that nature in using Adobe After Effects CS3 for the Adobe Cloud discount? I would be free to even sell it?
Thanks, Ron

Enough power for FCP 5 and Adobe After Effects?

I have a 1.67GHz 17" PowerBook G4 with 2 GB RAM and ATI Radeon 9700. I am working with FCP 4.5 but plan on upgrading to FCP 5 and also beginning Adobe After Effects.
Question: Do I have enough power with my G4 to handle these newer apps?
PowerBook 17" and a beautiful G4 Cube. Mac OS X (10.4.8) 60 Gb Video iPod, 2Gb Black Nano/Nike+

I recently installed FCP 5, as a crossgrade from Soundtrack Pro, and have a similar configuration as you. In the video work I've done so far, editing has worked fine, no constraints from the system I'd point out. Rendering, using Compressor, or exporting an FCP project to Quicktime movie can take awhile, depending on the time length of the project, however, that's somewhat the nature of the process. Since those processes are CPU constrained, a MacPro, for example, would complete them much quicker.

Your problem is that the program wants a good video card and a fast hard drive and lots of memory and you have none of the above. If you upgraded the RAM to 8 gigs and installed a solid state hard drive you might make the program useable but the real bottleneck is going to be the Intel HD graphics, which cannot be upgraded.
You do have an open slot to add one 4 gig memory module. This is an easy relatively inexpensive upgrade. See here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7FvZ-JduRM
http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/ct51264bf160b
I would try this a step at a time. Next would be the solid state drive. That would cost maybe $150. Post back if you need more help.

Can't open and update my Adobe After Effects CC after upgraded OS X 10.9 Mavericks~ Please help!

After upgraded OS X 10.9 Mavericks, the adobe after effects cc can't be open.
The system show me
"You can’t use this version of the application “Adobe After Effects CC” with this version of OS X

I've try to download and install the updated software - AfterEffectsTrial-12.0.1-mul-AdobeUpdate.dmg

Please help me!!

> I've try to download and install the updated software - AfterEffectsTrial-12.0.1-mul-AdobeUpdate.dmg
Don't do that. The After Effects CC (12.0.1) patch was only a temporary solution before After Effects CC (12.1) was released:
http://adobe.ly/AE_CC_12dot1_details
> but the system show me
"Update Failed

Please contact your Administrator if you wish to apply updates on your machine. Updates have been suppressed by the Administrator.

That is telling you that whoever deployed your Adobe software as part of an enterprise software license agreement chose to disable updates. You'll need to talk with your IT people who set up and deployed your Adobe software to reverse this decision.

To request my serial number for Adobe After Effects to upgrade to 64bit system

I have AE cs6 and I need to upgrade to 64bit system.
How and where to request my serial number for Adobe After Effects to upgrade to a compatible 64-bit operating system? (because no customer service answered me)

I don't understand your problem.
After Effects CS6 runs on 64 bit systems. You use the same serial number you use on a 32 bit system.
If you want to upgrade to the CC subscription version, you can do so on the Adobe website.
What do you mean that no customer service answered you? Did you speak to Adobe Support? What did they say?

Need help with a question on upgrading my Adobe After Effects CS5

Hey guys I am wondering if there is a way to upgrade from CS5 to CC. Need to know if that is possible, if it is then how much is it and how do I do it?

Hey, I was wondering if there is a one time payment or do you have to pay once a month?
All Adobe CS Licenses are now subscription based.
And If I have CS5, do they have beginner tutorial videos for it?
Start here:
Getting started with After Effects (CS4, CS5, CS5.5, CS6, & CC) | After Effects region of interest
and is there plugins I can download for better effects?
All the effects that come with After Effects are included when you install it. There are many vendors of third party effects available, some free and many that cost money. Some starting points:

Adobe After Effects CS4 will not load to Snow Leopard

Recently My hard drive crashed. I reloaded Snow Leopard on my computer and all of my support applications.
I attempted to load Adobe After Effects CS4, but it would not load.
I read where others had problems back in 2009.
Is there a fix for this problem?

Mmh, something is leaking. Are there any other Adobe products on the system that use MPEG CoDecs (Premiere, Encore, Adobe Media Encoder). If so, my best guess would be that those are not installed correctly or were messed up during an update or so. That stuff is shared by all apps and while your system is not ideal, it certainly should work and not give this error. Depending on what is going on, only a full re-install of everything might fix it, though, unfortunate as it may be. So make friends with the CS3 and CS4 Clean Scripts from the support pages, set aside a good afternoon and take some deep breaths...

Adobe After effects better on pc or mac?

adobe after effects run better on a mac or pc?

About the same depending on the specifications of the machine. Both have some issues. This is a question that can easily start an OS war because folks can be very emotional about their OS.
Generally I've had far fewer issues on the Mac side but they have been more OS related than AE related. To be fair I have not worked on a machine with the latest version of the Windows OS installed so I cannot speak to system stability, ease of working on a network, or driver compatibility on Windows 7. I can say that in my shop on the Mac side there have been no OS issues in more than 5 years, no need to reinstall the OS, and only 1 minor issue with an OS upgrade that was fixed in about a half hour by checking the Apple user discussion boards. I can't say that for any Windows machine that I have ever worked with.
I routinely work on a first generation 24" intel iMac that I purchased when it was introduced in 2006. The machine was upgraded to Show Leopard when it was introduced, the hard drive was upgraded to 1.5TB late in 2009 by cloning the original drive not by re-installing the OS. The case has been opened up about every 18 months to remove dust and make sure that everything is clean. The machine is still working just fine today. Adding to my satisfaction with this machine, I treated it like a laptop carrying it around from client to client or from coffee shop to coffee shop in an iLugger case nearly every work day for almost 4 years. Even with all that abuse the display is still nearly perfect (about 2 dead pixels) and the machine runs as well as it did on day one.
All of the shops that I do work for use Macs for all their editing and graphics work. There are only 2 shops that I know of in my area that use Windows machines as their primary platforms. I know that there are many windows users on the forum and that there are many shops that run Windows. Some of them will surely voice their opinion on the reliability and efficiency of their machines.
If I were starting out fresh and had no history with either system reliability would be my first consideration. A couple of wasted days every couple of months fixing OS problems are much more expensive than a few extra minutes of render time on each project because a machine isn't quite as fast. No matter what platform you choose you're going to find folks that are having problems with configuration, the OS, drivers and the compatibility because nothing's perfect.

Problem with Adobe After Effects CS6 on Windows 8.1 PRO

Hi Adobe Systems guys, I would like to know when the error will have the solution presented Adobe After Effects CS6 (Latinoamerican Spanish Version) running Windows 8.1 PRO, and throwing the following error.
I've tried the latest available update 11.0.3 but does not correct the problem. I wonder when will be ready the solution because with Illustrator CS6 also was the same but with the solution described in this page, http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/illustrator-does-not-start-windows-81.html was solved perfectly.
I appreciate prompt as we need urgent help to use the software in its Spanish version as was originally purchased. thanks

That such a friend, for I tell you that none of their solutions is an option for me because:
• Wait a couple of months with no after effects in the hope That a patch will come ... someday
R:/ The problem is not mine, is problem of Abode and therefore investing heavily in the creative suite CS6 and for that to be an option.
It's not fair to have to beg for a solution.
• Upgrade to CC and enjoy all the latest features
R:/ It is not possible , because we will not spend more money than they already invested in Suite CS6
• Use After Effects CS6 in English
R:/ It is not possible as the staff in charge of managing this program if it is not handled in English and therefore bought the suite in Spanish .
• Roll your computer back to Windows 8 instead of 8.1
R:/ It is not possible as it is known all Windows 8.0 failures we have put in 8.1 PRO .
I do not understand is that if Adobe Illustrator had the same problem and it was fixed within a couple of days getting the patch , why not do the same with After Effects CS6 in Spanish . All users of this suite CS6 and buyers deserve respect and prompt solution to the problems that are the fault of Adobe.

How to Import .MOV files in Adobe After Effects, I am Using Canon 700d for FilmShooting

Hello,
I have Just brought a canon 700d and started Shooting HD Movies but now i want to add some effects in my video E.G. Twixtor effect for slow motion but I am facing a problem that i cannot import .MOV file in Adobe AE CS4. Please help me. Also If you can tell me any free converter for .MOV to AF file format.
I am using Windows 8 OS.
Thanks!

CS4 is much older than Windows 8. CS4 is meant to work on XP or Vista. Getting it to run on Windows 7 was a bit of an issue, so I'm pleasantly surprised to hear that you have CS4 running on Windows 8 at all.
It's also possible that a new camera records in a codec that such an old version of AE doesn't understand.
Make sure you're running the latest update to your version of AE. You're on version 9, so make sure you've run the Adobe After Effects CS4 9.0.3 Update (I would not suggest updating in the middle of a project though, as any changes might break AE). I would like to reiterate: you're running a version that was released six years ago on an operating system that was released much more recently. So, be careful how you tread. However, if you're not running 9.0.3, you're missing some bug fix updates that might solve your problem.
I would suggest upgrading to a newer version of AE.
That being said, as Dave mentions, CS4 and earlier had lots of trouble with MPEG-4 and other codecs that used interframe compression. Can you open the files in your version of Premiere? If so, you can use Premiere or the Adobe Media Encoder to convert to a proper intermediate codec. MOV is just a container format. QuickTime with the PNG codec will work in After Effects CS4 with no problems as will the other codecs Dave mentions.

Adobe After Effect on Xsan Volume

Is there anybody using Adobe After Effect(AE) 6.5 on Xsan Volume in PowerMac G5?
In doing 2k or 4k DI work, AE browses many of sequence files (maybe up to 10,000 files in a folder)
File type is Cineon( *.cin), and file size is about 12MB for 2k, 48MB for 4k each.
The problem is that when the number of files is over than 5,000, movie preview gets very slow.
It takes 3~5 second to move from a point to another point.
This is happening only in PowerMac client, in Windows client (SNFS installed and using AE 6.5 same) it does not happen.
PowerMac 2.7G DP with 8GB RAM(10.4.2) is being used.
MDC is Xserve 2.3G DP with 1GB RAM), Xsan 1.1 is installed on all Mac machine.
2 Xserve RAID 5.6TB are being used for userdata.(4 RAID controller)
Metadata pool is belong to another Xserve RAID.
While, this symptom dows not appear in case Xserve RAID is directly attached to PM.
So, I thinks this is being from the difference between filesystems(HFS+ vs. Xsan filesystem) and
file index mechanism(Windows XP vs. Max OS X Tiger)
Is there any way to solve this problem?
Any ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Steve

Steve,
I don't know if this is the same basic symptom or not, but FCP has an extremely difficult (can I emphasize extremely) time reconnecting to media on Xsan Volumes. It is so slow that you think it has crashed or something.
There is definitely an indexing issue on Xsan Volumes, that is not present in HFS+. If your issues is related to this at all, I am sorry to say, there is no fix for it yet, at least on the FCP side of things.
That's my two cents.
Good Luck
Kalagan

Adobe After Effects 7.0 on Rosetta

Does anybody know if Adobe After Effects 7.0 will run well on Rosetta? Any problems?
We are thinking about upgrading to an intel based mac and we just want to make sure that the software is still going to work.

A question dear to my heart, as well, for which there seems to be very little concrete response.
But I will say that from other fora I have read that there is definitely a speed hit; some indicate that it is no better than before (Power PC processor), and others that it is slower and it's best to wait (maybe till May; ugh!)
I had the impression that if your expectations aren't too high it's ok, but then a co-worker (in graphics) said that the 15-inch Intel processor MacBook Pro crashes in After Effects if he tries to render more than 100 frames.
But I tend to think that if it were an absolute no-go, we would be hearing a lot more about it.
I know this doesn't really answer your question, but it is, I hope, a couple of thoughts to point you in a direction.
There seem to be similar issues with most non-Apple applications, such as all Adobe products and Autodesk Maya. As far as I know the only non-Apple app that is already universal is, weirdly, QuarkXPress.
So I guess the question, to quote Dirty Harry, is, Do You Feel Lucky?

Hi I'm thinking of buying Adobe After Effects CC for my MacBook Pro. But I am worried it won't work. Here are my specs 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 4 GB Ram, 1333 MHz DDR3,13-inch (1280 x 800) are my displays and I'm up to date with latest software.

Hi I'm thinking of buying Adobe After Effects CC for my MacBook Pro. But I am worried it won't work.

I need to know if this will work on this Mac and or if there is any other After Effects that will work.

The display would not. However, your model does not have a discrete GPU, and the integrated (Intel 3000) would not meet CS6's requirements (any CS6 software) alone.
However:
Standard VRAM:
384 MB
Maximum VRAM:
512 MB*
Details:
Apple reports that "memory available to Mac OS X may vary depending on graphics needs. Minimum graphics memory usage is 384 MB". *If upgraded to 8 GB of RAM (or more), 512 MB will be reserved for video function.
In other words, you would need to upgrade your RAM to 8 GB. The VRAM (video ram) of the processor can exceed its specifications if you upgrade your memory to 8 GB. In order to run the software, you would have to upgrade your RAM first:
